EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a highly respectable and scathing satire, "The Duke of Richmond" created by the talented artist Alfred Thompson in 1870. This vibrant colour lithograph, part of a private collection now held by Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection, presents an intriguing Vanity Fair cartoon that leaves no stone unturned in its satirical depiction. Thompson's caricature portrays the esteemed Duke of Richmond with remarkable detail and wit. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this influential figure while infusing the artwork with biting humor. Through his satirical drawing, Thompson masterfully exposes societal flaws or political controversies surrounding the duke during that era. Dated 26th March 1870, this satirical cartoon was originally published in Vanity Fair magazine. It serves as a testament to the power of visual storytelling and political commentary through art. The image offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history and witness how artists used their craft to critique figures in positions of authority.
